In October Sony announced the $130 Killzone 3 Helghast Edition and noted that it, as well as preordered copies of the standard iteration of the title, would include the two-environment Retro Map Pack. Now, Sony has offered more intel on the new multiplayer locales.

The Retro Map Pack will include two maps for Killzone 3's multiplayer component that were originally released in Killzone 2: Salamun Market and Blood Gracht. The content will also be available from the PlayStation Network, though neither Sony nor Guerrilla Games has affixed a release date or price. A scene from Salamun Market in Killzone 3.

Salamun Market has been retooled for Killzone 3 with Guerrilla Games producer Aryeh Loeb saying it has been rebalanced for "maximum carnage." The map was one of the largest from Killzone 2 and will be playable in Killzone 3's Warzone game type.

Blood Gracht, the "fan favorite" from Killzone 2, will also arrive inside the Retro Map Pack. Set on the ravaged streets of the Helghan city, Blood Gracht pits ISA against Helghast in Killzone 3's Guerrilla Warfare game mode.

Developers starting talking about DLC LONG before the game comes out. Its just you don't hear about it to often untill after the game is out. Nothing different is hapening here thats out of the ordinary

I hate developers announcing DLC before the game is released. If they're finished....why not put them in the game? Sure it's free in pre-order but not everyone does it. DLC could sometimes be just a cheap way to make money. -.-

I seem to remember already paying for those maps when I bought them with KZ2.
FYI Radec acadamy was the fan favorite. "Radec only" games were every where. I hated that map.
I'll add:
I respected GG the first time around when they did their map packs because they were new and added elements that weren't in the original release. They actually did work on them. But releasing old maps and calling it DLC, well it looks like GG is just following the cash grab trend.

for those who havent freaking read the article. IF YOU PRE_ORDER the game you automatically get the DLC for FREEEEEEE.....so instead of whining, why dont u guys go out and pre-order the game. they just offering it on PSN as well for those who might pick the game later on, but guess what ull have to probably pay somewhere between 2 to 5 bucks. but that will be ur fault, cuz u have the chance to pre-order the game and get them for free.

@Medic_B
Did you even read the damn article ? The DLC is Free when you preorder the game. So please explain to me how are they ripping you off when you get it for FREE when you preorder the game ? They are giving you a chance to get it for free. Those who can't preorder the game or don't want to will have to pay if they wanna play on those maps. You have a choice end of the day.

Games that haven't been released discussing their downloadble content is starting to get really frustrating. Just put it in the final game to make a great game, instead of milking your customers with a decent final product.
The first two weeks of video games are really starting to feel like beta tests that I've paid full price for.

Bizarre choices. Anyone who played Killzone 2 would know that The Radec Academy and Corinth Crossing were the fan favourites. I'm a little dissappointed. Blood Grachts a good map though, wasn't so keen on Salamun market but a bonus is a bonus nonetheless.
